Code C1226H need some help
Everytime I hit about 110mph my abs and active handling shuts off and the dic lights come on, anD it throws the c1226 code. As soon as I stop and shutoff the car, then turn it back on everything is fine again. I can run the car for months without it ever reappearing, but as soon as i break that 105-110mph. It kicks on everytime. I don't think it has a loose wire/ or needs the contacts clean, since it only triggers at a certain speed. I cleared the code but it will keep coming back. Anybody know anything about this please let me know. Thanks in advance. It's a 03 z06.
Ps I see there are different opions about weather this is a left front tire or right front tire code. Many say it's left front, but a few people say there wrong.?? Need clarification of that too. Keep in mind that I am a novice Diy car guy. I can change fluids but that's about all I've ever done.

I'll switch the lines and see what happens.
Stock brake lines. But not stock tires. Actually they are one step down from stock size. They only had 1500 miles on them when I bought the car, so I have just lived with them. I put about 4500 miles on them so far.

Means "In Before the Lock" .....you might have been referencing street racing and/or breaking the law somehow......not good

In the manual it tell me its C1226 RF Excessive wheel speed variation! Conditions for setting the DTC! the DTC can be set anytime the brake is not depressed and no wheel speed senor hardware DTC(s) are present,and the EBTCH sees a wheel speed variation of more than 14Km/h (9mph) for 2.5 seconds. Action Taken When the DTC Sets! A malfunction DTC is stored,ABS/TCS is disabled and the ABS and Traction Control Indicators are turned ON. Could be the sensor on the wheel Hub and bearing.
